Extract

The algebra of sets admits a quite elementary presentation in the form of an axiomatic system, which may well be suitable for sixth form school teaching. In this note, however, I am concerned not with axiomatics but with the development of set theory in terms of the membership relation; or to be more precise I am concerned with that part of set theory which deals only with the Boolean operations and the relations of equality and inclusion, but does not seek to generate sets.
